Physical activity enjoys several advantages and should be performed frequently. In an era where technology reign, sedentary lifestyle becomes a consequence of technological developments. There have been several councils promoted to combat this problem that affects the world population. These councils already have some result, as more people seek to improve their regular physical activity.One of the barriers associated with physical activity is the lack of knowledge in the field which, besides being a demotivating factor may result in incorrect execution of exercises that can cause injuries.This thesis aims to create an application that can make the Apple Watch device in a personal and intelligent coach. The application must be autonomous enough to perform the functions of a personal trainer. The main role is to guide the user by providing a training plan tailored to user features, exemplifying the correct execution of each exercise. Moreover, you should be able to monitor the user through the provided plan and, for this purpose, the watch Apple will have a key role to collect biometric data such as heart rate. In order to avoid the possible lack of motivation for physical activity, the application should be able to motivate your users in different ways: through the concept of gamification, adjusting the difficulty of the exercises so you do not become too easy or too difficult.
